Platinum case…enamel dial…flying tourbillon…
This is not to say it is not an impressive Blancpain Villeret 12 Day Flying Tourbillon replica watch, because it is.Not a lot of pomp and circumstance out of Blancpain this year, but as usual the manufacture from Le Brassus does not disappoint with its new year lineup.Reflecting the Villeret collection identity, the dial and the painted Roman numerals are in grand feu enamel, with openworked sage leaf-shaped hands. 12 jours equals 12 days in English, a nod to the impressive power reserve of the caliber 242.
The new fake Blancpain Villeret Tourbillon watch is set in a 42mm platinum case and is distinguished by a dial-side 60-second flying tourbillon with silicon balance-spring and a gorgeously decorated caliber on the back side. This is the second of five new pieces from Blancpain this year, and believe it or not it is not the most complicated of the Le Brassus manufacture’s new pieces this year.
The Blancpain manufacture Caliber 242 is a mere 6.10mm thin, with an impressive 12-day power reserve and beautiful decoration. The overall case dimensions are 42mm x 11.65mm.
A red gold case is also to be offered; both are set on a chocolate brown alligator strap lined with alzavel calfskin and secured by a triple-blade folding clasp.

Having already seen the Blancpain replica Villeret tourbillon watch (a pure and elegant 3-hander + date) and now this masterful flying tourbillon, I will soon show you two more complicated pieces this year, the Villeret Carrousel Moonphase, and the Blancpain Villeret Perpetual Calendar.
